My lo has hand foot and mouth :(

Queue the crying momma.. last time this went through our entire house. It was the worst! I got it, my DD got it and my DH was the last to get it. My hands and feet peeled for 3 weeks after this awful virus. I don't even care about me, it's my babies I'm worried about. Lo has a fever and chills. Blisters in his mouth. So far nothing on his hands or feet. But I have the coconut oil ready and I'm praying this is a mild case. Thanks for letting me vent I'm sad and hoping my lo recovers quickly.

Why do you think it's come to your house twice? I don't have experience with it but 5 of my high school students just had it! They all shared water bottles over the previous weekend while playing basketball. I don't understand what started it.

My LO and I got it too. It was a very mild case in terms of the blisters but we both had 103 degree fever. Thankfully DH was spared. I only had it on my fingers, which are still peeling. It's running rampant here in New York City.

Both of my children are in daycare, so I suspect they got it from classmates. According to my pediatrician it's caused by a few different viruses. If you had it from one strain, it's likely you could get it again from another strain of the virus.
